How do I restore windows 7 fonts after they were wiped out?
My windows fonts were a wiped out after a windows 7 update. Just displayed garbage. Happened before and I just did a restore from before the update. Tried to go back but all restore point were gone this time. Got enough fonts back to run the system . How do I restore them all without re-install. Also tired to use powerpoint viewer but not working.
Thanks for your help. | My System Specs |

Welcome to Windows Seven Forums.
If you know someone with a Windows 7 or Windows Vista computer, copy the contents of their Fonts folder to a media of your choice, then paste the fonts into your Fonts folder.
Create a backup copy of your Fonts folder after you've refreshed it. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion Elite 495UK

still having issues with fonts when rebooting
Ok. Copied fonts from another computer, installed the fonts and worked great until I rebooted then, fonts all gone. I have a fix but, does anyone know of a permanent fix since this is only temporary.
thanks
